Venues

RFAA is very fortunate to have several venues where we display and sell our art. These guidelines will insure a happy and profitable relationship between you and our venue owners. Please note how sales are conducted at each venue and adhere to our guidelines.

To Prepare to Show at a Venue:

Check the Venue Calendar below for dates and themes. Change outs occur approximately every three to four months

Carefully read the requirements for the venue you wish to enter

Permanently write your name, title of the work, medium and your phone number on the back of each work you submit

Use a wire hanger with the wire loose enough to allow some give but not show above the work (NO SAWTOOTH HANGERS ACCEPTED)

Complete an Inventory/ Entry Form and bring with you (see FORMS ABOVE)

IF YOU SELL A PAINTING in a venue directly (buyer calls you) please have the check for the sale made out to: Roswell Fine Arts Alliance and mail it along with a Sales Tracking Form (see FORMS ABOVE) to ATTN: Treasurer, P.O. Box 2084, Roswell, GA 30077. RFAA’s Treasurer will deduct 20% commission and return a check to you for the balance.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT all art taken to a venue must remain in the venue until the take down date. Early withdrawal of a work will result in a 20% of sale price penalty payment.
